I have driven down this road before vs I've drove on this road before

The correct phrase is 'I have driven down this road before.' 'Driven' is the past participle form of 'drive' and is used with the auxiliary verb 'have' to form the present perfect tense. 'I've drove on this road before' is incorrect because 'drove' is the simple past form of 'drive' and should not be used with 'have.'
